After studying Law, Advertising & Marketing in Germany and International Communications in the USA,I have worked in various positions in the advertising and retail industry in Germany, the USA and South Africa - among those are Young & Rubicam (SA), Remo Marketing (DE), Deloitte (SA) and McNamara, Klein & Partner (NY). Between 1998 and 2009, I have been representing 5 German companies in South Africa, and since 2009, I am working as a freelance translator from home for a number of agencies, as well as private clients, for the language combinations EN>DE and DE>EN.

With the family moving to the UK in 2009, I decided to study one more time, and in February 2014, after studying for 4 years, I passed my exam as a Veterinary Homoeopath. This provides me with the opportunity to work within the veterinary industry.
